25.1 Australia in command here, they remove the set batsman, Gambhir plays a nothing shot, no footwork hangs his bat in response to a ball outside off that moves away a hint, a tickle down to the keeper, and the familiar failings of the Indian batting come to the fore once more 63/4

3.2 Hilfenhaus has struck, Sehwag is gone for a duck, the ball just swerves away a hint after pitching around middle and off, it draws him on to the front foot, gets his bat down late as he pokes tentatively at it, outside edge through to Ricky Ponting at second slip, big blow this 4/1

13.5 Dravid is bowled, yet again! It wasn't the movement this time as it had been on previous occasions this series, that was a yorker aimed at the legs, Dravid was struck on the full outside leg and it ricocheted off the pads onto the stumps, quicker from Siddle and Dravid's bad run this series continues 32/2

24.1 Tendulkar is gone now, India in big trouble, a length ball nipped back in after pitching just outside off, beats Tendulkar's defence and strikes him on the pads, looked to be taking out leg, umpire Dharmasena is convinced, he raises the finger, Australia are ecstatic, virtually the entire team converges on Harris, Tendulkar was looking to work that to leg, instead of defended down the track 59/3

52.5 Siddle dramatically turns a session which India seemed to be winning, a short of length ball just outside off, gets the outside edge, first slip takes it and one more well-set Indian batsman gives it away 138/6

50.6 the end of Kohli, he was looking so good this session, can't blame any demons in the pitch for that dismissal, a length ball that Kohli drives uppishly, Warner was waiting at point for that, some exuberant celebrations from Siddle, Kohli should be kicking himself to be dismissed in this manner after taking his time to settle in, and surviving a testing early phase 131/5

56.1 Starc doesn't take too long to make an impact this session, first ball wicket for him, that one swings in towards the pad, no doubt about that one, Vinay's first Test innings is a short one, cue more "where's Ashwin?" mails 152/7

60.2 that didn't take long at all, less than hour an half after tea, the tail keels over, Ishant nicks a short of length ball to the keeper, at least India managed 191 in Sydney, this time it's only 161 161/10

24.1 to Tendulkar, Tendulkar is gone now, India in big trouble, a length ball nipped back in after pitching just outside off, beats Tendulkar's defence and strikes him on the pads, looked to be taking out leg, umpire Dharmasena is convinced, he raises the finger, Australia are ecstatic, virtually the entire team converges on Harris, Tendulkar was looking to work that to leg, instead of defended down the track 59/3

3.2 to Sehwag, Hilfenhaus has struck, Sehwag is gone for a duck, the ball just swerves away a hint after pitching around middle and off, it draws him on to the front foot, gets his bat down late as he pokes tentatively at it, outside edge through to Ricky Ponting at second slip, big blow this 4/125.1 to Gambhir, Australia in command here, they remove the set batsman, Gambhir plays a nothing shot, no footwork hangs his bat in response to a ball outside off that moves away a hint, a tickle down to the keeper, and the familiar failings of the Indian batting come to the fore once more 63/457.2 to Dhoni, this is ending quicker than expected, Dhoni joins the procession, the familiar poke outside off, not much feet as he plays that, easy catch for second slip 152/859.2 to Khan, well, that comedy is over, Zaheer swipes as he has all innings, gets the outside edge and another simple catch for first slip 157/9

56.1 to Vinay Kumar, Starc doesn't take too long to make an impact this session, first ball wicket for him, that one swings in towards the pad, no doubt about that one, Vinay's first Test innings is a short one, cue more "where's Ashwin?" mails 152/760.2 to Sharma, that didn't take long at all, less than hour an half after tea, the tail keels over, Ishant nicks a short of length ball to the keeper, at least India managed 191 in Sydney, this time it's only 161 161/10

13.5 to Dravid, Dravid is bowled, yet again! It wasn't the movement this time as it had been on previous occasions this series, that was a yorker aimed at the legs, Dravid was struck on the full outside leg and it ricocheted off the pads onto the stumps, quicker from Siddle and Dravid's bad run this series continues 32/250.6 to Kohli, the end of Kohli, he was looking so good this session, can't blame any demons in the pitch for that dismissal, a length ball that Kohli drives uppishly, Warner was waiting at point for that, some exuberant celebrations from Siddle, Kohli should be kicking himself to be dismissed in this manner after taking his time to settle in, and surviving a testing early phase 131/552.5 to Laxman, Siddle dramatically turns a session which India seemed to be winning, a short of length ball just outside off, gets the outside edge, first slip takes it and one more well-set Indian batsman gives it away 138/6

38.5 bowled'im! India strike, finally, angled in from round the wicket, pitched on a good length, Cowan rocked forward and pushed at it, got an inside edge onto the pads and the ball rolled onto the stumps, knocking the bails off. 214/1

55.1 end of a terrific innings from Warner, he was looking to smash this one into the crowd again, this time over long-on, it hits him low on the bat so he doesn't get the power he was looking for, the ball swirls towards Umesh at long-on, he has to back pedal to get under that, judges it nicely though and takes a smart catch a few yards within the rope, a standing ovation for Warner, Ishant gets his man, four hours too late though 290/4

42.6 Umesh gets his second wicket, Marsh's troubles continue, this was the most comfortable platform Marsh could have asked for to get back into form, it was angling across the batsman, tentative from Marsh, little footwork and he nicks it through to second slip, Laxman hangs on to it, diving to his left to pouch that sharp chance, and has a big grin on his face 230/2

44.5 bowled 'im, Umesh Yadav doing it all for India, he gets his third, that was again a good pace, a full inswinging ball, sneaks past the bat, hits the pad and then takes out middle stump, which is lying flat on the ground, another terrific delivery from the youngster 242/3

58.4 Zaheer has reward at least, Clakre pokes at one outside off, plays inside the line of that delivery, gets the outside edge through to the keeper and Dhoni takes it, Australia five down now, who'd have thought 301/5

67.1 Vinay Kumar has a moment to savour, his first wicket in Tests, a shortish ball outside off, Hussey wanted to glide that through the off side, can't keep it on the ground, ends up chopping it towards gully 339/7

60.1 Zaheer gets his man! Haddin is gone for a duck, he was stuck on the crease as he pushes at that one outside off, that one angled in, Haddin misjudged how far in it was coming, a tickle through to Dhoni, Australia are six down, not a scoreline you'd have expected a couple of hours ago, Zaheer blew a kiss towards Haddin to send him on his way, 303/6

68.2 Umesh gets his fourth, a fuller ball from him, too good for Siddle who looks to push the ball towards mid-off, misjudges the line and the off stump is pegged back, the ball angled in and straightened at the last moment, Siddle didn't cover for that, he's got to go after a handy knock 343/8

73.2 five-for for Umesh, his first in Tests, digs in the bouncer, that was quick, too quick for Harris, who attempts the pull, top-edges it, and the ball loops towards square leg, Australia have lost their ninth 357/9

58.4 to Clarke, Zaheer has reward at least, Clakre pokes at one outside off, plays inside the line of that delivery, gets the outside edge through to the keeper and Dhoni takes it, Australia five down now, who'd have thought 301/560.1 to Haddin, Zaheer gets his man! Haddin is gone for a duck, he was stuck on the crease as he pushes at that one outside off, that one angled in, Haddin misjudged how far in it was coming, a tickle through to Dhoni, Australia are six down, not a scoreline you'd have expected a couple of hours ago, Zaheer blew a kiss towards Haddin to send him on his way, 303/6

38.5 to Cowan, bowled'im! India strike, finally, angled in from round the wicket, pitched on a good length, Cowan rocked forward and pushed at it, got an inside edge onto the pads and the ball rolled onto the stumps, knocking the bails off. 214/142.6 to Marsh, Umesh gets his second wicket, Marsh's troubles continue, this was the most comfortable platform Marsh could have asked for to get back into form, it was angling across the batsman, tentative from Marsh, little footwork and he nicks it through to second slip, Laxman hangs on to it, diving to his left to pouch that sharp chance, and has a big grin on his face 230/244.5 to Ponting, bowled 'im, Umesh Yadav doing it all for India, he gets his third, that was again a good pace, a full inswinging ball, sneaks past the bat, hits the pad and then takes out middle stump, which is lying flat on the ground, another terrific delivery from the youngster 242/368.2 to Siddle, Umesh gets his fourth, a fuller ball from him, too good for Siddle who looks to push the ball towards mid-off, misjudges the line and the off stump is pegged back, the ball angled in and straightened at the last moment, Siddle didn't cover for that, he's got to go after a handy knock 343/873.2 to Harris, five-for for Umesh, his first in Tests, digs in the bouncer, that was quick, too quick for Harris, who attempts the pull, top-edges it, and the ball loops towards square leg, Australia have lost their ninth 357/9

67.1 to Hussey, Vinay Kumar has a moment to savour, his first wicket in Tests, a shortish ball outside off, Hussey wanted to glide that through the off side, can't keep it on the ground, ends up chopping it towards gully 339/7

55.1 to Warner, end of a terrific innings from Warner, he was looking to smash this one into the crowd again, this time over long-on, it hits him low on the bat so he doesn't get the power he was looking for, the ball swirls towards Umesh at long-on, he has to back pedal to get under that, judges it nicely though and takes a smart catch a few yards within the rope, a standing ovation for Warner, Ishant gets his man, four hours too late though 290/4

10.2 What a scorcher! Banged in short and that darted away, Gambhir was taken by surprise, got on the back foot and tried to play it into the leg side, almost trying to fend it away, the ball pops up towards gully and Hussey takes a comfortable catch, an excellent short ball by Starc, India under greater pressure now. Came off the handle 24/1

11.3 gone! Sehwag goes, caught behind, short of a good length and nipped away and the fatal, almost inevitable (in this series), poke sends Sehwag back, fished for one that moved away from him, got a thick edge and Haddin snapped it well stretching to his right, India in deep trouble, the openers gone without much on the board 25/2

50.5 Dravid is bowled again, yet again! Done in by a ball that swung in and was bowled full, moved in a touch further after pitching, Dravid got across to try to drive it through midwicket, he missed, it clipped the pads and then knocked out leg. He was bowled off a yorker in the first innings by Siddle, but that pitched outside leg and ricocheted off the pads onto the stumps. This one was in line. A promising stand comes to an end, and India will have to start building again 135/5

16.1 Tendulkar is gone! the Starc swing does the job, lbw once more, pitching on middle and snaking in, Tendulkar looking to play straight but can't put bat on it, struck on the pads, the height wasn't an issue, that would have probably taken the outside of leg stump, that was a tight call, Tendulkar walks off shaking his head, India in utter disarray, Starc is utterly delighted 42/3

19.1 a two-day Test is seriously becoming a possibility here, VVS joins the procession, short of a length and swinging away, Laxman gets a thick edge to third slip, Laxman doesn't move his feer at all as he plays at that, and he's gone for a duck, how many more Test does he have left in his career? 51/4

63.2 Australia complete the demolition job, Virat Kohli nicks it through to the keeper, an innings and 37 runs, a little more than seven sessions to complete the rout, 3-0 and the series is in the pocket, and in some style too 171/10

55.4 Dhoni's horror tour continues, he's gone for 2, a short of length ball just outside off, Dhoni stretched well forward as he tries to play that, takes the edge and Ponting gobbles up a low chance at slip, that's a terrific catch. Into the Indian tail now 148/6

62.1 Hilf gets his second wicket, Australia are three away from 3-0, short of length ball, once again an Indian batsman hangs his bat outside off, gets the edge, the ball flies to Clarke at first slip, Vinay is gone 171/7

62.2 a snorter first up, there's no time for any entertaining Zaheer swipes, he's gone for a golden duck, a bouncer just outside off, rears up on Zaheer, gloved through, Haddin dives to his right to try take that, he can't, Clarke is terrific at slip and he shows that again, he isn't distracted by Haddin's movement or the glove, jumps and hangs on to an overhead catch, Hilfenhaus is on a hat-trick 171/8

62.5 three in the over for Hilfenhaus, this is ending in a hurry, another short ball, targetting Ishant's penchant to stand tall and defend these short deliveries, the short leg was placed just for this, Ishant duly obliges by providing the catch, extra bounce means the ball hits him high on the bat nine down now 171/9

50.5 to Dravid, Dravid is bowled again, yet again! Done in by a ball that swung in and was bowled full, moved in a touch further after pitching, Dravid got across to try to drive it through midwicket, he missed, it clipped the pads and then knocked out leg. He was bowled off a yorker in the first innings by Siddle, but that pitched outside leg and ricocheted off the pads onto the stumps. This one was in line.
